Amazing towers...

showing a great likeness with Meteora rock: it's pudding-stone. I'm curious to know what kind of rock are made of Prateleiras, Paulo?

Re: Amazing towers...

I saw the Meteora page, and yes, it looks like it a little bit.
Oh and I did a little research, found the name of the rock: nefelina sienito
Apparently it is a very rare kind of rock present in Itatiaia NP and in Finland and Norway...
:)
Ciao Paulo
